 ok so far... July 15, 2008
i just recently bought this game and have only had a few chances to play...so far i'm pleased. the controls are a little awkward and take some getting used to but overall i like the game. the graphics are decent...not the best or worst i've ever seen. this is a fun game for the $20 you pay.

It really reminds me of the Gauntlet games, which were great for their simplicity. You and some friends gather 'round and kick the snot out of an endless supply of baddies. The diversity of character development allowed in the game helps, too. Things get easier if you use some brains, which is always nice, but if you just feel like plowing through, it's more than possible. Playing single player really isn't the game's strong point, as it's too repetitive and the cut scenes are too lame to engage you. If you've got the controllers and the friends (even just one), this game is well worth your time. It may not be worth the money, though, due to the lack of replay value, so this is probably a rental.

This game definitely has some flaws, but it's really fun.
The Good:
+ Really cool inventory system with tons of variations on items.
+ up to 4 players can join the brawl.
+ Melee combat as well as ranged.
+ Leveling up lets you increases status and proficiencies of your choice
+ a cool, challenging variety of enemies.
+ you can choose a class at the begining of the game (Seal, Sharpshooter,
Tank, Firebug, Demolition expert)
+ you have a little robot that you can use to craft items. he is also a portable turret.
+ switch between melee weapon, Main weapon and secondary weapon with the push of a button.
The Bad:
- Very little storyline.
- Sub-par graphics
- Crappy, annoying sound.
- difficult to execute special melee attacks.
- Cutscenes are boring
The good features of the game makeup for the bad.
Overall this game isn't very high quality, but very fun, though if you hate the game gauntlet, this game is not for you.
also, the graphics are better than they appear in Screenshots.
 Disappointing July 30, 2007

Sega's re-imagining of their classic arcade title ends up being sadly disappointing, as Alien Syndrome comes to the Wii. Playing as gun-toting heroine Aileen, you blast your way through hordes of repetitive mutant aliens. What really hurts Alien Syndrome the most is said repetitiveness, and it comes in more ways than just alien blasting: from the level design to the combat elements, Alien Syndrome recycles itself from beginning to end. The Wii controls sort of work well when it comes to aiming and shooting, but it doesn't take long for pure boredom to set in. The RPG elements that are inserted don't really amount to a whole lot either, and actually seem as more of an afterthought for the most part. All in all, Alien Syndrome may seem like a little bit of fun at first, and it is for a brief time, but sadly wears down into an exercise in monotony. It may be worth checking out for fans of the original arcade game, but all others should avoid.

This game is fun, if you give it a chance and learn the controls of both the shoot em up and how the rpg / character development is controlled. there are many variations to how you can play both aspects. I am writing this from my wii and just thought the first review was a hasty complaint about a fun game.
